O bhás go críoch, ní críoch ach ath-fhás

(Pronounced 'oh vaws guh kreeuk, nee, kreeuk ock o(o as in soft)-aws)



It means "From death to end, not end but new life". It's from an Irish hymn called 'Ag Chríost an síol'. I'm Irish, but not religious, I think that line is lovely because you don't have to be Catholic to take comfort from it. My family used this as part of my Dad's funeral mass. It's a beautiful song. You can listen to it on youtube at the link below.

It basically means 'May he rest in peace', it's used quite commonly for funerals and that.



Hope that helps.
